I would like to know what a good alternative for ticwatch is. I like the LCD screen alongside basic smart capabilities like step count, heart rate etc.

I was considering getting pro 5 for £15 second hand but looking through the sub even that seems like a waste

For those wondering if buying a used Ticwatch Pro 5 Enduro in mid 2026 is a wise decision, considering the manufacturer stopped selling them, I can tell you it worked out extremely well for me. I had been wanting an android watch for a long time but didn't want to spend a lot for one, and I also wanted extremely good battery life. I feel like I hit the jackpot when I picked up a used one for about $150 on ebay. Yeah it only has wear OS 4, but the legacy facer app still works well on it. (see Sideload legacy Facer app) And the battery life has indeed been insane, it's seemingly lasting practically a whole week. I am so impressed with it, the dual display technology is killer, and it feels snappy and smooth even though it's not the latest greatest. I'm so glad I didn't go for the latest pixel watch and pay 3x the cost and a piddly battery that won't last a day. I will be sad when this one gives up the ghost considering it's not made anymore and the oneplus watch 3 is also killed off too, leaving the market with basically zero options for extended battery life android watches.

I couldn't find a charging dock that held both my phone and my TicWatch, so I designed and 3D printed my own.

The charger cable routes through the base, there's room for a wallet and keys, and I even added a nicotine pouch holder because that's something I use every day.

I was honestly surprised how few TicWatch accessories exist compared to Apple Watch stuff. I'd love to hear any suggestions for features or improvements if I make a V2.

Hi there,

I'm retiring ticwatch 5 pro and would like to keep my heart rate records.

Any tips how to do so?

Couldn't find any export option - is there none?

Alternatively - would it be possible to sync/send that data to another app like Google fit?

Thanks a lot!🙏

Title.

It sounds like it should be possible, using the same custom data cable trick that was done for the Pro 3, but I want to know if anyone has actually done it.

Lately I've had some problems charging my pro 5. Always had to wiggle the cable a little to make it work. Now that won't work either, flipped the watch to see if it was just some buildup and found one of the contacts cracked (I tried to scrub it carefully and toothpicks get stuck in there) is there any known way to patch it up or to get it fixed? I bought it in August '23 so I guess every warranty is well gone.

Barometer, compass (Google maps works fine), altimeter, HR monitor even tho I can see the green lights from the back of the watch at night, when I turn my wrist, backlight doesn't come on anymore on the essential mode screen, and the adaptive brightness doesn't do anything anymore. I guess all this may have stopped working at once but took some time for me to realize when something wasn't working anymore. Any suggestions or anyone else had this problem before?

Basically, with my watch, I can't connect it to Iphone, or kind-of connect at all, anyone know any way to fix this?

Hello everyone, im wondering where can i find some FREE good watchfaces for my ticwatch ?

thank you!

Yesterday, I decided to repair my watch, which I'd only been able to access the bootloader of for months. After hours of effort, I finally managed to connect it to the computer using a custom-made cable. While following the installation steps, I carelessly deleted "aboot" and the other important parts (deleted gpt partition) My watch's EDL mode is now active. I can switch from a 900E to a 9008 to connect it to the computer, but I can't find the relevant .mbn, rawprogram0.xml, and patch0.xml files. If anyone has any information or the necessary files, I would be very grateful for their help.

For anyone still on wear os 2 (I downgrade it recently and i like it better than the 3, more fluid, better battery life..) there is a way to still use whatsapp.
Support for the official wear os 2 app has been dropped by meta but there is still a full android app for old armv7 devices that supports android 5+ (wear os 2 is android 9).

You need to download the universal version of the apk from apkmirror (not the armv7, the support for that one was dropped too) and install it with adb or with some app like gemini manager. After that you go to accesibility and activate the magnification glass tool, this will allow us to access the 3 dots to link the device in the right top of the welcome screen which otherwise is hidden in the watch round screen. And that would be basically it.

Of course the screen size is not perfect but once you get to the chat screen is pretty ok and it allows me to access any chat and send messages or voice messages when im out without the phone. And battery wise is not more hungry than the wear os one.

Hi there,

How to best keep my heart rate data when giving away my ticwatch (5 pro)?

Thanks a lot!

I had a spare ticwatch pro 3 ultra LTE that i downgraded to wear os 2. The number of compatible apps with wear os 2 is on the decline but i though that if i was able to find a good telegram client i could use it with my openclaw (formerly clawdbot) instance through the telegram chat. So i installed handygram and now i send voice messages to my bot and it answers me right away. It can also set alarms for me, reminders, notes etc.

As i have phone calls and 4g working on this watch i feel i can leave the house and leave my phone behind now. Not bad from an abandoned piece of tech. :)

When I hold down both switches for a bit this is what I get

Saludos compré este reloj pero a la hora de querer configurarlo por primera vez, este me da error, presenta la pantalla de actualización y se queda pegado, luego al reiniciar dice error y luego hace un formateo del sistema.

I’ve been trying to connect my tic watch e3 to my iPhone but the mobvoi app (healthcopilot) is stuck on same page

Is the TicWatch 3 Pro still worth buying? Since it's a good price on AliExpress, I thought I'd consider it. Plus, it's one of the few that supports custom ROMs. Does anyone still have one? Would you recommend it? How long does the battery last?

Hello all,

I’ve been developing an app for Android watches. It gives you access to offline topographic maps (which you send to your watch beforehand), and you can also create your own routes.

The app is free and open source.

At this stage, I’m looking for testers. If you’re interested, send me a message or join the test google group : https://groups.google.com/u/3/g/glancemap

Important:

• The app is currently in English
• It is mainly designed for hiking
• It is not a tracking app (you cannot record activities or GPX traces) But it works well alongside your watch’s built-in activity tracking

I’d a be very interested in feedback from TicWatch

Let me know if you’re interested !

Hi. I currently own a Samsung Watch 7, but the short battery life of 1-1.5 days (while everything is off) and many advertised features being blocked in too many countries make me want to switch to another brand. I have used many basic watches with 7+ days of battery life, but after using Android Wear on Samsung, I can't go back. Is it worth switching to a TicWatch (Pro 5 or Pro 5 Enduro)?
